[VIDEO] Jan Oblak breaks La Liga clean sheets record

Jan Oblak became the fastest goalkeeper to reach 100 LaLiga clean sheets in just 182 appearances after Atletico Madrid trashed Osasuna 5-0.

The 27-year-old breaks the record set by Miguel Reina who reached 100 clean sheets in 222 matches, establishing himself as one of the world best goalkeeper at the moment.

Since joining Atletico in 2014, Oblak won Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Supercopa de Espana title, as well as a Champions League runner-up in 2015-16 season.

 

Since 2015, Oblak has won Zamora Trophy for four consecutive season, and he could be the first goalkeeper to win the trophy for the fifth time, as he currently leading the least number of goals conceded, with only 22 goals in 28 matches.

The victory pushed Atletico to the fourth place in the LaLiga but with only two points clear for Champions League spot, they can only hope fifth-placed Real Sociedad will slip up when they face Alaves.

Diego Simeone has been under fire this season after Atletico are struggling to compete for the league title as they are currently 10 points behind second-placed Real Madrid and 15 points behind league leaders Barcelona.
